Star Luo City, Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin, and Zhu Lu each obtained a Soul Bone that enhances their attributes: the Wisdom Skull, the Strength Right Arm Bone, and the Speed Left Leg Bone, respectively.
After absorbing the energy, all three of them broke through to the next level: Dai Huabin reached level 40, while Huo Yuhao and Zhu Lu reached level 30.
Not far away, an elder was pinning down the Soul Beast prepared for them.
The three of them went to absorb it.
Yan Shaozhe looked at his disciple Ma Xiaotao with a sigh in his eyes. He had only arrived a little late and had already transformed into the Evil Fire Black Wind.
He took out two extremely high-quality Soul Bone, both over 60,000 years old, from his ring and handed them to Ma Xiaotao. Together with her original three soul bones, she now had five Soul Bone, only lacking the last one—the torso bone.
Ma Xiaotao sat down to absorb the Soul Bone. Yan Shaozhe looked at Dai Huabin and Gongyang Mo, and said suggestively:
"Are you willing to stay in the inner courtyard with Xiaotao from now on?"
Gongyang Mo said without hesitation:
"Dean, I am willing to fight for the glory of Shrek."
This is for both the Soul Bone and the Soul Beast, so why wouldn't they want it?
Yan Shaozhe nodded and said:
"Very good."
He looked at Dai Yueheng.
Dai Yueheng glanced at Dai Huabin and Ma Xiaotao. He understood the significance of the Evil Eye Holy King better than anyone else. He knew that after the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, he couldn't possibly compete with Dai Huabin, and besides Ma Xiaotao ...
He thought about it and nodded.
"Dean, I'd like to stay at Shrek from now on."
Yan Shaozhe then took out two boxes of Great Soul Pill from his Soul Guidance Storage Ring and said:
"Take this and hurry up and break through to the next level."
Dai Yueheng was taken aback. Gongyang Mo had already accepted it and spoken, so he couldn't take it back. He then accepted it as well and began to swallow and absorb the Great Soul Pill.
Gongyang Mo was the first to break through to level 60, followed by Ma Xiaotao who also absorbed the two Soul Bone, and her Soul Power broke through to level 70 with some strength remaining.
Dai Yueheng absorbed the Great Soul Pill, trying to remove the pill's poison as much as possible. It took the two of them nearly half an hour to finish, and his Soul Power also broke through to level 70.
He stood up, still feeling a bit angry. The side effects of the Great Soul Pill were significant, unlike absorbing Soul Bone, which was beneficial and harmless.
Yan Shaozhe had his own reasons for this. Huo Yuhao and the other two had to participate in the next Soul Master Tournament and couldn't take the Great Soul Pill. Ma Xiaotao was his disciple, so he couldn't let her take it either. He had no choice but to let Dai Yueheng and Gongyang Mo take it.
The Soul Beast prepared for the three of them were far more powerful than those for Huo Yuhao and his companions. Xuan Zi personally suppressed them, releasing the three Soul Beast that had long been beaten to the point of near death.
A terrifying and ferocious aura was immediately revealed. Xuan Zi exerted his power, suppressing a 60,000-year-old, a 70,000-year-old, and a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, forcing them to prostrate on the ground.
Looking over, the three immediately understood that the 100,000-year-old fire phoenix was prepared for Ma Xiaotao, the 70,000-year-old white tiger was for Dai Yueheng, and the 60,000-year-old one was for Gongyang Mo.
The three of them finished off the attackers.
The 100,000-year-old fire phoenix even gave Ma Xiaotao a piece of her torso bone, making her a full -Soul Bone.
Yan Shaozhe was quite satisfied with the rising red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring on his disciple's body, after all, he himself did not have Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Seeing that all six members of Shrek had received unprecedented enhancements, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask:
"Dean, what about Jin Suqiu?"
"If she can reach the sixth ring, it will definitely be a qualitative leap."
Yan Shaozhe smiled slightly and said:
"You don't need to worry about her, we have our own plans."
Even if Shrek was stupid, he could recognize the Black Dragon Reverse Scale.
After everyone returned, Wang Yan began to rearrange the tactics. After all, Huo Yuhao and the other six needed to conceal their strength, so they naturally couldn't go out until they encountered Qianling Academy again.
Two days later, Chu Qing had just walked in front of Shrek's rest area when he saw Yan Shaozhe inside and couldn't help but freeze in surprise.
He felt he had come at the wrong time, so he gave Yan Shaozhe bow and prepared to leave, but Jin Su called him back.
"Wait, I'll go with you."
Chu Qing was momentarily flattered and embarrassed, and he didn't dare to shamelessly hold Jin Suqiu's hand as they walked down the street. However, Jin Suqiu took the initiative to hold his hand.
Yan Shaozhe's eyes held a peculiar meaning.
Chu Qing himself was also quite puzzled, and said:
Did the sun rise in the west today?
Jin Suqiu said calmly:
"It won't cost me anything to let you pull me along."
I pulled you up because I have something to ask you.
"Ask away?"
Let's find a quiet place to eat and talk.
After booking a private room at a restaurant, Jin Suqiu still didn't let go and asked:
How did you do it?
"Why do you seem to retain consciousness even after Ice Empress and the others sacrificed themselves for you?"
Chu Qing laughed heartily.
"So that's what it is?"
He didn't mind Jin Suqiu asking him so bluntly.
"That's because I possess the Soul Spirit Secret Method, which allows Soul Beast to transform into Soul Spirit and attach themselves to Soul Master to continue living. If one becomes a god, they can resurrect their physical body."
Jin Suqiu nodded and released Chu Qing's hand.
Chu Qing wrote with emotion:
"You're so heartless. You used me and then..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jin Suqiu reached out, hugged his head, and kissed him.
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, but quickly began to enjoy it, sticking out his tongue. He could feel Jin Su getting hot all over, and her hands gradually began to get restless.
Jin Suqiu snorted and pushed her away, scolding:
"Who told you to touch me like that?"
Her face was flushed, and her eyes were darting around. She herself was a little surprised. She tried her best to speak in a calm tone:
"Alright, I've given you your reward."
"Now teach me the Soul Spirit Secret Method."
Chu Qing grinned mischievously, clearly still wanting more.
"You think you can extract my Soul Spirit Secret Technique with just one kiss?!"
"It was my first kiss."
Jin Suqiu sat down, involuntarily crossing her legs, not daring to look Chu Qing in the eye, and said:
"Mine was my first kiss too, so you're not at a disadvantage."
As she spoke, her face grew increasingly red, and she used the menu as a shield to shield herself.
"Teach or don't, it's up to you!"
"Anyway, I'm not going to sleep with you."
Chu Qing wanted to laugh when she heard this, and said:
I never said I wanted you to sleep with me.
I never thought you'd have such wild thoughts in your head.
Jin Suqiu shouted loudly:
"Shut up!"
"Let's eat now."
Chu Qing also sat down, propping one hand on his face, looking at the menu opposite him with a sense of boredom, and even began to explain the Soul Spirit Secret Technique as if he was about to doze off.
Jin Suqiu, listening from the other side, was puzzled and couldn't understand why Chu Qing trusted her so much.
Her mind wandered, and only after Chu Qing finished speaking did she snap back to reality and say:
"Say it again, I didn't remember it just now."
Chu Qing sighed helplessly and said:
"You listened carefully this time."
He then began to explain it again.
After finishing her explanation, Jin Suqiu put down the menu and said:
"Okay, I've got it."
"How about I invite you to my house after the competition?"
You teach me yourself.
Chu Qing smiled mischievously:
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Are we meeting our parents so soon?"
Jin Suqiu stood up and said:
"Can't you be serious for once? You're already feeling smug."
"My uncles will beat you so badly you won't be able to take care of yourself."
"Come on, I just checked, we've already eaten everything up there, there's nothing good there."
"It's my turn to treat you to a meal today."
Chu Qing was overjoyed and said:
"OK!"
When should I visit your place? I'll need to prepare.
Six months later.
As Jin Suqiu spoke, she led Chu Qing out, and they turned left and right on the street.
Chu Qing looked at it strangely and asked:
Which store are you looking for?
He looked at Jin Suqiu and found her somewhat lost, yet also seemingly with a destination in mind, which was rather strange.
Jin Suqiu looked around at the shops as she spoke:
"I heard from senior Jiang Nannan that money should be carefully managed."
"I'm looking, trying to find a cheaper place."
"So you'd better keep your stomach under control later, you can only eat one serving."
Chu Qing was somewhat amused and exasperated, and asked:
So you mean Jiang Nannan is your closest friend?
Jin Suqiu said calmly:
We wouldn't say we're close.
"But she is a gentle person."
"My roommate Xiao Xiao and I are alright, but her cultivation level is too weak to participate in the competition."
